This could be the issue that pulls
00:00:01
Americans together that we could have
00:00:03
consensus on, which is we don't want to
00:00:05
waste our tax dollars. Putting aside the
00:00:07
fact, Nick, that you're a conservative,
00:00:09
it doesn't matter. What matters is the
00:00:11
truth. And the truth here is there's
00:00:12
massive waste, fraud, and abuse. And
00:00:14
Elon saw it. Elon told us, he confirmed
00:00:17
it, and he got attacked for it. Elon was
00:00:21
100% right. Everybody who attacked him,
00:00:23
they may not have liked his tactics and
00:00:24
how fast he was going and locking doors
00:00:26
and turning off credit cards. his
00:00:28
techniques they may not have liked, but
00:00:30
we as Americans can all get behind not
00:00:32
allowing any more fraud. And we should
00:00:34
not be increasing taxes into a system
00:00:37
that is ripe with fraud that I think
00:00:40
everybody will agree on. And when all
00:00:42
that fraud happens, it keeps us from
00:00:44
actually sending the money to things
00:00:45
that we might actually as a country uh
00:00:48
that might pull us together even more,
00:00:49
which is like I don't know, maybe we
00:00:50
could have universal healthcare like the
00:00:52
other 80 most developed countries in the
00:00:53
world if we rooted out this fraud.
